As we are an organization for people engaged in spiritual formation – many of whom are retreat leaders and/or spiritual directors, we thought we would share this opportunity.
Lenten Retreat Un-Shaming Sin By Sarah Ceddwyn
Join Sarah Cledwyn Beginning March 4th, for “Un-Shaming Sin”. This Lenten offering provides 7 weeks of daily reflections and weekly zoom integration sessions to carry you through the season of noticing and turning that Christians celebrate every year. Running from Mardi Gras to Easter Monday, this will be a life giving deep dive into goodness.
What will we explore in our retreat time?
In the beginning, creation was called good. If we started out in goodness, what happened?!? It doesn’t take any special vision to look around life and see that it isn’t all good. It isn’t all bad either, but something else is here. Sin is sometimes the word we use to name that something else. Somehow in my journey, and sometimes explicitly in Christian spaces, sin has gotten linked and conflated with shame. If one way to literally translate the word sin is to ‘miss the mark’, then the linking of ‘something is off course’ with ‘I am bad’ is at best unnecessary and at worst harmful.
The truth is that each way we are out of synch with goodness, the gap or the mismatch hold the keys and information for us to get back on track. This is great news because it means that our close noticing will provide its own invitation back into life’s fullness. Used as a practice, we hone in on the one path- custom created for us- back into the Oneness that is the most true truth inside all else. However, if we shroud this information in shame, suddenly it’s hard to look at, let alone see or examine, and this will muck up our practice, send us down dark alleys, and send us further out of alignment with God’s love. If it’s too hard to look, we will never have eyes that see.
Who would love this retreat?
Curious folks and spiritual directors who find Christianity to be a friendly or neutral influence in their spiritual journey will find joy and freedom in de-coupling shame and sin and finding a sure path of practice leading to a more direct experience of God/Love/Life.
Folks who have experienced religious trauma from the Christian church and get triggered by words like sin may find this retreat challenging or perfect depending on how much healing has been done around their wounds. Information and registration can be found at www.sarahcledwyn.com. Hope you’ll join me.
The course is $244 with a $50 discount for Hearts on Fire members when they use the code “sacred”
